Made me home sick… remembering Joan (Kenny Anderson’s mother) and Kenny Smith, his brother Vincent and his mother Ann. I remember when they moved away). Remember at Six Brothers one Saturday morning eating breakfast with Kenny Anderson and Pierre Turner, Esq. Kenny was loved in the LeFrak City community.
Damn, I remember being a Knick fan watching Kenny play for the Nets in the early 90s. I honestly thought he was going to end up in the HOF, he was so talented not just physically but he had tremendous PG skills. Although he never lived up to his potential and had his demons, I am glad he is getting his second chance. As a former Queen native who lived 15 minutes away from Lefrak, wish him nothing but the best.
Was at a club in Portland OR called Shango & standing at the bar for a drink . A tall guy stepped up next to me & I remember my eyes slowly checking him out in amazement. He was getting a lot of attention/looks but was very cool/chill and people felt good around him. You could not have known his journey was going to be tough , really happy to hear he is doing what he loves.
I met Kenny at Syracuse’s summer Basketball Camp when I was 16. He was one of the best in the camp and was just 12. I’ve always rooted for him. Hope he has a great coaching career.
Thanks for this mini documentary i knew what type of player Kenny was what he meant to new city and ga tech he was a legend 👏🏾 but I didn't know what he was doing since it's great to see him again helping out the young men at Fisk University
Kenny Anderson was my guy! He was a helluva point guard and I’m so glad to see him doing well! Those young men at Fisk will continue to learn so much from him.
Congrats to my favorite basketball player ever! You deserve it cause you gave so much to the game Blood, Sweat and Tears, and to have a opportunity to go back and do it at a HBCU that just speaks volumes to your character and the man you've become. Keep up the incredible work KA I'm pulling and praying for you.
Loved Kenny as a player. Definitely influenced my game. Vision and handles unreal. A pure floor general. I really wished it could have worked in New Jersey him and Derrick Coleman were crazy!! like gary and sean and marbury and garnett. It was special. Rooting for him as a coach!!! Salute Kenny!!! Proud of you
Facts.l'm a Knickfan but living in Jersey I still had a affinity for the Nets.Them losing Drazen really took a toll longterm.Both DC and Chibbs said they lost a little bit of love for the game when he died.
Kenny I am now a follower since I found ya on social media and my love for NBA. Queens NY. I love and the south Nashville home Tennessee. Awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 🆒️
I went to high school with Kenny and have watched and coached high school basketball since 1985. Kenny is the best high school basketball player I’ve ever seen play the game. Period
My alma mater, Fisk University...class of '97. Love to see this. I remember watching Kenny back in the day, especially him being around my age. Really dope episode. Great to se the campus again...
As a current digital cinematography student I say great job on all aspects of this piece. As a ol’head fan of b-ball and KA’s, I say salute to Kenny and I’m glad he’s found his calling. ✌🏾
Wishing my man Kenny all the best! Not gonna say luck, just hope things work out well for him and the university. I'm sure the best therapy for him at this point in his life may be success on a coaching level! 👍
Awesome. Will never forget watching him at the Seven Up shootout in St. Louis. How the crowd would collectively gasp in amazement at his crossovers and dazzling moves on that court. Interviewing him afterwards. Proof that life doesn’t end after ballin. Keep on teaching KA, MGB! ;-)
If we only talking high school then also Rod Strickland, Mark Jackson, Boo Harvey, Shammgod and Sebastion Telfair. It would've been Jamaal Tinsley and Rafer Alston too if they played in H.S.
Just like NYC Rappers,NYC point guards were also over rated....Oakland is home of the great point gawd. Payton,kidd,dame..... Kenny and Marbury just another version of J.R Rider
My father took me to watch him play at Molloy in 1989 when I was 6 years old. When I was around 12 I shook his hand after a game at the Meadowlands. You never forget those you idolize as a child.
Only real ones will ever remember & appreciate how good & special this guy was on the court and off too. People throw the word 'prodigy' around... but when you saw this guy play, that's exactly what he was. Before there was the LeBron James phenom, there was Kenny Anderson. I'll never forget how he would LIGHT UP the ACC and Duke, who were just a powerhouse then. The announces all loved Hurley and would talk about how hard he tried but Anderson was so freakin' good, you couldn't deny his talent. That UNLV game... when he wasn't on the court, that was the big difference. We're talking... UNLV 90s... LJ, Augman, Greg Anthony, Hunt... I was a HUGE fan of his. The thing about him going to Georgia Tech... is before him, they had Mark Price. After they had Travis Best and Steph Marbury under coach Cremins. Man those were the days
He was right up there with Marbury, talent-wise and he was unstoppable at Georgia Tech. The 90s definitely was the golden era of college basketball. The talent pool of college basketball in the 90s was unreal.
Growing up in Queens and loving basketball as much as I did, I remember the Mark Jackson, Kenny Smith, Pearl Washington, Rod Strickland and of course Kenny A....read papers on alla them dudes over the years. Good to see Kenny do his thing after all these years. As a former Tuskegee Univ. student, I am hopeful for HBCUs athletics rising up to be more than before through peeps like Kenny coming to HBCUs to bring some much needed shine. Hope Kenny stays and does not jump ship JUST because of money like Deion Sanders did. It is about the bigger picture.
this dude was the "Definition" of a PG. He had the high bald fade with the part in the middle.. I use to want to be him....He was DAT SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
St louis use to have this basketball shoot-out where for about 15 years or so the best high school players and teams in the country came through. The best high school players i ever saw in person is Kenny Anderson and Penny Hardaway.
This was thoroughly interesting to watch. I was a junior at Georgia Tech when Kenny was a bona-fide star. Like Kenny I grew up in the projects. I was raised in Athens, GA which was rough, but probably mild in comparison to his upbringing. It is so good to see him mature into man who has reconciled his past and is moving into the future to help others. I hope he achieves his goals as a coach.
In Life that’s a Fact All ways try to do the rite Thing!!!! It’s works out in the Long Run!! Kenny Anderson done been threw it All!!! In the 80-90-early 2000s I would see him everywhere clubs, restaurants, etc!! We’re all from Queens.
It was only two players I wanted to watch play hoops... Pearl Washington and Kenny Anderson PG ledgens from NYC... It's good he coaching them boys how to be Great.
Great choice by Fisk! Dude can hoop, knows hoop, and, as a pure PG, he knows how to communicate with players individually & as a team. He terrorized the ACC when the ACC was loaded and nation's best. If he gets his hands on the right young leaders who have game & passion to hoop... it only take 1 or 2 good recruiting years to find 3 or 4 DAWGZ to lead the pack. They're on playgrounds all over America, wandering aimlessly from court to court for hella competition. College classes are the primary deterrent, since they likely felt relieved to be done with high school. That's gonna be where he finds a gem or 3 because many are attending 2yr colleges or plan to. They need options as much as directions & instructions. Some are living as bums shortly after high school, and hustling money for wins on courts. The classes are gonna be a hard sell, but he only needs 3 or 4 guys who see the options and accept the challenge of changing the course of THEIR lives while they're still a few years pre-prime.
Kenny Anderson and Rod Strickland are the most underrated players to come out of NYC
Strickland was that dude! Loved his game! They talked shit because it was said he J was shaky..but he could get to the rim willfully!
What did WU say about KS?
@@negusrbg500 Layup package was crazy.
they were the best before MARBURY
Underrated how? They are both widely reguarded as 2 of the best ball handlers and pg's to ever come out of NY
Him and Deion going back to coach HBCU schools is the shit.. I hope more former pros do the same after retiring.. we all we got ✊🏾
Former NFL player Eddie George is at Tennessee State.
Yes sir! this is long overdue.
Well that didn’t last long. 😂
If those kids only knew how good Kenny Anderson was, they'd take him seriously as a coach and mentor...
Legend on the court and life. Great to see grown men out there brave enough to open up about difficult experiences as well.
I was in the ACC when he was in the ACC. Incredible player. Glad to see he's an incredible man too.
This a good look. Transfer some of that NBA knowledge and skill down the line to our people.
Wow, didn’t know Kenny was coaching. It’s dope that he’s at a HBCU. ✌🏾
Kenny is the man!! He was an NBA ALL-STAR in 94 with fellow NJ Net, Derrick Coleman
Yup and DC came out with them British Knights dimacells!🔥🔥🔥
That was my favorite team, don’t forget Drazen. (R.I.P)
I remember when Kenny Anderson got drafted by the Nets. I thought it was a massive coup for them considering how long they were NBA doormats.
yesss..I remember that
First 5-6 years of his career Kenny was a beast
Great story. Grew up outside Atlanta and remember watching him at Tech. Good to see him doing well and giving back to young guys
I remember him at Tech too!!
Grew up in NYC watching Kenny Anderson God Bless My Brother 🙏🏻
Thank you for taking me back to my childhood 🙏🏽 Kenny is awesome!

Growing up in lefrak and seeing Kenny from time to time, he’s always been a humble dude, thx for the doc

Kenny was the GOAT! Im from the BX and remember first reading about him in Sports Illustrated as the best 9th grade basketball player in the country.
NO I WAS!🏀
Kenny Anderson was my guy! He was a helluva point guard and I’m so glad to see him doing well! Those young men at Fisk will continue to learn so much from him.
I remember watching Kenny play at G tech. He was phenomenal! Good to see him coaching our young men.
As a Nashville native. I am so excited Kenny Anderson is at Fisk University
Yo... Kenny Anderson was nice back in the day bro! Used to watch him every chance I could back in the day.
Interesting interview. I haven't seen Kenny since the CBS Documentary. Glad to see he's back in basketball and earning a living from it as well.
Congrats to my favorite basketball player ever!

@@29larron yoo that's a fact #3 was a good dude and his 3pt shooting was insane...in fact EVAN FOURNIER is the modern day Drazen
@@mocancer8485 no doubt fam however I respectfully disagree on Evan comparison.Like I said I'm a Knickfan but I ain't bias.Drazen was waaaay better 😂💯
Kenny I am now a follower since I found ya on social media and my love for NBA. Queens NY. I love and the south Nashville home Tennessee. Awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 🆒️
Damn Kenny! Glad you came forward and got that off your soul.... I hope you continue to find peace and heal and help these young men and women....🙏❤️
Wow. First jersey i ever owned. Salute to the G.
This is BEAUTIFUL a well put together history lesson!!!
I went to high school with Kenny and have watched and coached high school basketball since 1985. Kenny is the best high school basketball player I’ve ever seen play the game. Period
I wish him the best he has been through a lot.
This is a powerful message. Huge fan from Toronto 🇨🇦
My alma mater, Fisk University...class of '97. Love to see this. I remember watching Kenny back in the day, especially him being around my age. Really dope episode. Great to se the campus again...
Love these authentic inspirational documentaries
He was real cool with my nephew Jerry Walker back in high school I had a conversation with him back 1988 word is Bond.
He's a great person and player top 10 point guard in the game he was the first A,,I.
@@elbertcorbin4168 is that Jerry Walker from Seton Hall?
@@elbertcorbin4168 him, tim HARDAWAY and rid Strickland were all A.I. before A.L.
True ROD FRIST COUSIN WAS MY BEST MAN AT MY WEDDING MY BAG ROD WAS GREAT.
Yes Jerry Walker from the Hall.
Kenny and Pearl Washington were the best guards to ever come out of NYC 🏀
Bob Cousy too.
As a current digital cinematography student I say great job on all aspects of this piece. As a ol’head fan of b-ball and KA’s, I say salute to Kenny and I’m glad he’s found his calling. ✌🏾
My favorite PG of all time. I’m proud of Kenny, I’m still in GA, I’m going to make that ride to Ten to check him out.
Thank you appreciate it, Glad to know that Kenny Anderson is well and helping develop young man at a HBCU
KEEP DOIN YOUR THANG KENNY AND GOD BLESS YOU BROTHA
Wishing my man Kenny all the best! Not gonna say luck, just hope things work out well for him and the university.
I'm sure the best therapy for him at this point in his life may be success on a coaching level! 👍
Awesome. Will never forget watching him at the Seven Up shootout in St. Louis. How the crowd would collectively gasp in amazement at his crossovers and dazzling moves on that court. Interviewing him afterwards. Proof that life doesn’t end after ballin. Keep on teaching KA, MGB! ;-)
Kenny Anderson, Dwayne Washington & Stephon Marbury were the best HS point guards I ever saw from NYC.
If we only talking high school then also Rod Strickland, Mark Jackson, Boo Harvey, Shammgod and Sebastion Telfair. It would've been Jamaal Tinsley and Rafer Alston too if they played in H.S.
Just like NYC Rappers,NYC point guards were also over rated....Oakland is home of the great point gawd. Payton,kidd,dame..... Kenny and Marbury just another version of J.R Rider
@@l.r9655 Yeah and the two most famous rappers from Oakland, MC Hammer and Too Short are the most basic, non rappin ass niggas in the history of rap.
And don’t forget about Felipe Lopez as well.
@@al5603 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Being open about some personal stuff has helped me to move on and enjoy life more. I’m glad he’s doing good for himself after the NBA.
🙏
GREATNESS.
A real MAN who is open and upfront about the challenges of life.
a real overcomer!
facts 👑 Eric
That's my alma mater!! Fisk University, class of '97. Stand up!!!
I remember seeing that triple cross n Kenny shaking ppl off the screen n finishing w/ease.
#Total Point Guard 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I saw him, as a high school freshman, at Malloy. To this day, I never seen a 15 year old with that much control, as a point guard....!
Salute Kenny Anderson 🙏🙏🙏 Living Legend
loved Kenny Anderson on the court. love and respect him more off the court.
My father took me to watch him play at Molloy in 1989 when I was 6 years old. When I was around 12 I shook his hand after a game at the Meadowlands. You never forget those you idolize as a child.
It was an honor to meet him!
